If anything SLORC is specifically NOT socialistic, since they overthrew the previous socialistic government.

As for hating the US. The government there is not the people. When I was there most Burmese were pretty pro-American. This is one of the reasons the government doesn't want the US to enter into the country.
When did I claim to be an expert on this SLORC?
When did I say the Burmese people hated Americans?
If you got a problem with the content I posted, take it up with the owner of the content.
You seem over anxious to condemn someone?
You make a good point. Maybe Liberals in New Orleans told FEMA to stay out so Bush would not look like a hero? Hmmmm
